About William Grefe Stanley (1972)

What to write, is a aesthetics of trash cinema . It would be an attempt to give the reader categories of the hand with which he learns to distinguish good from bad bad movies. In Cinema Bizarre it is often after talks that can be understood, perhaps as a preliminary to such a book. It can be observed that the formal and narrative shortcomings of many films, the cracks, gaps and awkward cuts, around which organizes these works are two permit at first sight contradictory reactions: first, the regret of formlessness, of the lack of coherence, implausibility, and frequently also of betraying one's own narrative conditions. Second, the hail of it is this lack of form resulting intensity of certain scenes and images that catch, no cushion through aesthetic, intellectual, psychological explanations, the viewer with full force. The enormous wealth of forms and genres of the 70 years was perhaps out of that freedom, as the filmmakers had time to devote to the aspects of a film which fascinated (perhaps only a single setting), and the rest of bored, unmotivated and quickly herunterzukurbeln.

In the still to be written aesthetics of trash cinema it to do, in conjunction with one of the two positions. Instead of looking at each film as a Grabbeltisch lying around on the much junk and some beads informally, would have him question to be addressed: How did this work its own formal defects, the inability of the actors, the inadequacy of the tricks, the inconsistent behavior the characters transformed into a virtue by it has transformed into a form of second order in a search for truth in a different field than psychologizing, preparatory each scene and pleasing illuminating mainstream art films or plow. Is it only due to Lucio Fulcis sloppiness that in A Living Dead bell rope day and night alternate with each other randomly, sometimes even within a scene? Or is behind this violation of established rules, a formal continuity ingenious idea about the collapse of all categories, between life and death, good and evil, day and night?

William Grefe Stanley (1972) is a low-cost production, which does not develop its shape in spite of, but with their limited resources. In the wake of Daniel's rat movie Willard (1971) Stanley tells of a social misfit, the half-Indian and Vietnam veteran Tim, who lives in the swamps of Florida in a kind of commune with a handful of rattlesnakes. Tim is a precursor of portraits by Werner Herzog in Grizzly Man Timothy Treadwell, a madman who believes that, since killing the snakes / grizzlies him not one of them. Stanley is struktuiert by the contrast of this strange animal becoming a human-being, which is marked with the utmost rigor of mutual exploitation, violence, ugliness and grotesque vanity. There is a contractor who hunts with his dull agents snakes, Dener he alive subtracting the skin to They sell high. He is hot on his daughter, his hairy body usually peeks out from a bright orange robe. Once he is in shorts with red hearts in front of a mirror and trained with the smallest weights in the world. Tim's mother is a painfully untalented dancer who wants to seduce her son in her first scene and later want to breathe new life into her dead career by biting than Cleopatra dancing snakes heads. It is driven by the owner of the shop The Climax, a disgusting grease rag in children's shorts. And then there's a moronic flower power junkie named Psycho, which responds to only two stimuli: snakes and Indians that he will massacre at screening immediately.

You could spend a lot of time trying to decipher the ecological, political, social messages, which lie around in Stanley like a Grabbeltisch, joined to form any coherent form or statement. His real power lies in the fact that he is the bumbling actions of the actors, their tasteless clothes, her ugly body has taken advantage of in order to design a self-contained bestiary of being human. There is no beauty, no consistency in the actions and words of the figures, each exalted, inappropriate gesture, every salacious, unpointierte remark, every detail of their miserable environment brings impressive expression: Man out is a fallen creature in nature, without grace, full of greed, disgusting. (Even the inconsistency of the lip movements with the comments of the figures in the German version underlines this impression.)

A phrase that is on the action level extremely implausible, reveals that even Tim, animal-becoming, not the counterpart of this general selfishness, but only a pathological extreme form of it. A young woman he has kidnapped his snake kingdom declares him after a night of love quite succinctly that his snakes are not his own kind, but his slaves that he can kill in his place and which he treated as his commanding sergeant in Vietnam, it began: as a killing machine. This encounter with the real bubble can burst fantasmatic Tim, and he escapes to complete in his madness, as he now wants to kill the girl. The snakes are opposed to their false sergeant, a fire eats away at the hut in the swamps, and from it crawls out in a truly grisly final scene Tim, along the ground and writhing with burns on his body that look like the pattern of a snake. The Tier Werdung, is it nevertheless succeeded yet.

Miyazaki structure

Hayao Miyazaki's Porco Rosso (1992), with Deleuze

When Gilles Deleuze long enough to the spelling of his ideas and concepts is watching and listening, they begin to capture his own thinking and perceiving pleasant. When I saw yesterday evening Hayao Miyazaki's Porco Rosso for the first time, I was immediately clear that they have to deal with a thoroughly Deleuzian work. The film is the structure of a form of subconscious desire produced in which the various elements of a utopian dream of becoming. As there would be: a transformed into a pig pilot with a bogey-trench coat who hunts with his red machine hijackers. An American flyer Dandy, the dreams of the cinema and would later be president. Women who are tinkering in a workshop on a special aircraft, while upgrading their uniformed men for the war. A fascist Italy, where for pigs and pirates and aliens no place. Children, the huge machine guns for sale. A woman who has lost her heart to a pig and turned the evening in the bar the air with their songs captains head. A 17-year-old, who has built a new control mechanism and knows no fear.

The beast and the children Porco Rosso

The children have never been afraid in Miyazaki films. IT CAN define their child-Being: The curiosity is always greater than fear. At the beginning of Porco Rosso kidnap Pirates a class of 15 girls who enthusiastically jump on board, playing and climbing between the arms hang laughing at the firing guns, pull the buccaneers of the beard and admire the skull paintings. Later the mechanic Fiona, meanwhile Porco Rosso's co-pilot, bringing a whole horde of angry pirates with a few words to reason and to offer himself as a prize in a dogfight. The children at Miyazaki deterritorial think, not of their own position, their security considered, but from the horizon, from the other based on its position engaging, just curious. In the Deleuzian sense, they are always left, not quite conservative, but in the making, in becoming child. Becoming a child, the show Miyazaki's films for children that will be when watching another always something very beautiful, is not growing up, but rather the spread of perception, of feeling, of empathy on all things and beings, strangers and old, men , women, animals, weapons and monsters. Miyazaki's films are no initiation stories of adolescents, but rather exercises in the child, without a universal curiosity territory.

Or will animals, as Porco Rosso. The story of the enchanted prince who is saved by a kiss, runs as a subtext of the film, but was not told to the end. Porco Rosso, Miyazaki makes abundantly clear, does not suffer from the curse of the transformation into another being, he's become this creature, or rather he is in the process of animal Werdung. "Better a fascist pig," he says at one point, but you can also generalize: better pork will be as a person. Do not be part of a nation, a movement, a community, but remain alone, beyond the limits of the clouds, even that is becoming-animal. And enjoy: the women, the wine, the risk of the wind, loneliness.

In Miyazaki, there are pictures of the work. Factories and manufacturers. If cities and socialization appear in his films, they are always in the early capitalist stage in which one can see the work still done by hand, labor. Some of the most amazing sequences in Porco Rosso from the Milan workshop of a flight engineer, which only reduce women to the construction plans of a young girl a new machine. Their husbands are in the Air Force of the fascists, the women build the anarchist pig is an airport and escape device. Maybe looks like the unconscious, no Freudian farce, on the Stage Dad and Mom copulate on forever, but a factory that manufactured in the new will and desires take shape.

Porco Rosso is a celebration of deterritorialization. Except in Milan, playing all the action from on a variety of small Adriatic islands, pirate nests, retreats, Fantome L'archipelago. This does not localizable yet kartografierbarem Atoll, all characters have come together to be anything but want to be everything (child, animal, woman, heterosexual, adult man, Deleuze, one can not be only) Spelunkensängerinnen, pirates, dandies , pigs, scum. Although they fight each other, is clear that they belong together, not as a community, but a rhizome, of a network. A dream.

"The other theaters, we will get big financial problems because we all need to digitize, sooner or later. The lender will provide us namely the not too distant future, no more 35mm prints. Either you will then get their hard drives or anything. Cinema, not the switch to digital technology, are no longer able to play new movies. The market will clean itself all by itself, unless the distributors are obligated by law to provide for each film and a 35mm copy. This will not be so expensive that the policy will not succeed.

Can Keloids Form On Earlobe

With eyes that are not clouded by hate

motto of Ashitaka (and all the great adventurers )

James Cameron's Avatar I imagine it like before and fatty, somewhat vain dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant, rubbing his stomach is satisfied, the views out into the distance and says to see the future. The Iron Giant, which he believes to have symbiotic arrogance in the way, has many names, for me he is Hayao Miyazaki, and Avatar is, if you would like to say it kindly, a tribute to this greatest of all animators. As you now can read on some sites (for example here and here ), Cameron has served in many works of Miyazaki, but especially at Princess Mononoke (1997). At the species can be off next Monday, 5 April, as part of a Miyazaki Showcase an idea abscond has brought out the Bartel the must.

Bloody as Avatar :
Princess Mononoke


Avatar told as Princess Mononoke of the quest of a young hero who moves into a foreign land to save his own tribe, while the frontier in a war between a supposedly civilized and a mystical natural world. Both Jake Sully and Ashitaka mediate between a work-sharing, resource-devouring, by force of arms growing, schools and hospitals be built in areas conquered imperial power and a self-sufficient, ecologically balanced, inhabited by many creatures and animated kingdom. In both films (as well as in the myth of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas), it is a wild princess (Neytiri / Mononoke), which leads the hero through the dangers of the forest and reveals its wonders. So far, so universal, but Cameron has also taken a number of details. In both films is a gigantic tree, the spiritual center of the forest. Both heroes have serious injuries, Sully can not move his legs, Ashitaka's right arm was poisoned by a demon. The small, chattering, white Kodamas from Princess Mononoke return to Avatar as floating, jellyfish-like forest spirits again, and both films end with a great battle in which sweeps away as a last resort nature a huge stampede of people (at Cameron Miyazaki boars have received the visages of hammerhead sharks). And then there are the flying mountains of Laputa and the many flight sequences that are found throughout the entire work Miyazaki ( Nausicaa, Laputa, Porco Rosso , Kiki's Delivery Service ) and would have to be Avatar like to trim. However

is Hayao Miyazaki himself one of the greatest masters in the synthesis of European, mythical, Asian fabrics and art historical motifs, from which he conjures own universes. Not the borrowing itself is to complain then, but perhaps what is left behind at Cameron: a deep sensitivity that worlds are not milk and honey countries but fragile ecosystems, where there are shortages, balances must be prepared in which each transformation has its price and must be used where. Princess Mononoke is on a very complex world of fantastical design, in which both the natural world as well as the civilization is differentiated in itself. Ashitaka is indeed an unconditional advocate of the rights of animals, while a sympathetic observer of the complexities in the village, whose inhabitants have set themselves against marauding samurai to defend. By no means driven only by greed, the lady turned out to be eboshi benefactress who worked in their factory bought free prostitutes and beggars. The residents of the settlement are among the most self-confident female characters of the animated movie theaters that find their work in the iron works well as emancipatory. Images of the work, prostitution and begging are nowhere in Avatar .

The Large and the Small: Laputa - Castle in the Sky

The unique balance between the Great and Small, the animate and the inanimate, the work and pleasure / flies Miyazaki knows how to keep forever, it is also very beautiful in Laputa - Castle in the sky watching (1986), which also Swift's Gulliver's Travels stood godfather. The fantastic adventure story about a kingdom in the clouds, which can locate by using a magical crystal, is a children's film in the best sense of all that we think we see everything here, for the first time in wonder. Whether it is the smallest or the largest creatures is, organic or metallic, butterflies and robots, each element of the natural and industrial creation, the same attention will be given. Above all, the vast and fantastic animated flight sequences, and air battles, which stood for the flights of literary devices and Jules Verne's sponsor, are of an imaginative power and enthusiasm, as whether the flies were just invented. But even in Laputa the characters, locations, units in complex environmental and economic systems are involved, there is nothing here for free. On board the pirate-machine, go with the kid's hero Sheeta and Pazu to Laputa, is from washing up to the kitchen duty all regulated to a strict schedule, and the magic castle itself, projected around the world escape fantasies, emerges finally as uprooted habitat that is ordained without integration into the Earth's ecosystem from destruction.

story of a mask: Spirited Away Land

Aburaya the kingdom, which discovered the eponymous heroine in Spirited Away Land (2001) at the end of a dark tunnel, is not a land of plenty. As in medieval Japan by Princess Mononoke , in the retro-futuristic world of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds (1984) or on the Laputa Castle in the air here are strict rules, failure to comply will be punished. The center of the Empire is a giant bathhouse for the gods and spirits, leading the witch Yubaba strict hand. To get into it either as a paying guest or a worker, and so Chihiro soon finds a pool attendant again to rid the demons from their huge mud crusts must. Or small, great beings, the grotesque as the beautiful, which operate in the bath house are decorated with his usual precision and boundless respect. Good and evil, they are not registered, but only arise from the actions of the characters in a complex web of action and reaction, of self-control and modesty. The driving force of this moral journey of discovery is quite as often the curiosity of a young girl who is with his courage and respect even before fearsome creatures amazing metamorphoses in motion. Gigantic monster turn out to be vulnerable minds, even the despotic witch Yubaba revealed as a caring mother.

also 's Moving Castle (2004), the children's book based on an English story of the young milliner Sophie, who is in love with a magician and as a punishment by a witch into an old woman transformed, impresses with the richness and accuracy of the fed from many sources, Miyazaki's imagination. The home town of Sophie, in their teeming with magnificent figures streets she meets the wizard Howl first time is a strange amalgam of medieval market town, an enchanted maze and early industrial city, the sky of steam railways and giant flying ships obscured is. Howl's Moving Castle Hauros, in Sophie hires as a housekeeper in order to be exempted from the curse, is a composite from scrap parts Steam engine and also a living monster that travels on thin legs through the misty landscape. His front door opens onto different worlds, in which Hauro pursues his craft.

The Art of Balance: Howl's Moving Castle

As always carries a fantastic effect in Miyazaki a profound moral dilemma, because the multiplication of worlds through the magic door that Hauro any time the obligations of a can rid the world by changing to another. Thus it has become an irresponsible wizard that even the suffering of the war barely moves yet to act. This is the flip side of magic, fight with the magician and the Miyazaki to this time something has, for the large number of locations, characters and magic options confusing towards the end of something the narratives so that the resolution of all too much like a rabbit out of a hat. But like all truly great magicians one is at the end of the illusion expire so that an accurate view of occurs on the hands of the master as an outrage.
